I don’t know if I’m right, but I’m going to suggest a hypothesis, which is that the woke “educators” promulgating this hare-brained parody of math pedagogy know exactly what they’re doing. We’re incredulously pointing out how ridiculous it is, on the assumption that said educators are too stupid or ideological to realize that they’re consigning their students to lifelong innumeracy and unemployability. But I don’t think so. I think the point of this looking-glass approach to education is to deliberately create a generation of incompetent, self-entitled leeches who will milk victimhood for all it’s worth while demanding that other people do life’s heavy lifting for them. They will be the new nobility class. If they never learn to figure out the right answer to a problem that has only one right answer, what else will they be good for besides giving orders?
I'm not sure it's that consciously cynical, these people genuinely believe this stuff. These ideas are being formulated and promulgated by true believers, who also happen to be people who simply don't have to worry about such things as machines not working and crops not growing if their concepts are faulty. Much as under Stalin and Mao, the true price will not be borne by the people spreading this rot!
